Description
This Homemade Breakfast Casserole is a warm, make-ahead dish loaded with sausage, eggs, cheese, and hash browns. It’s perfect for family breakfasts, holidays, or meal prep — comforting, simple, and delicious.
Ingredients
1 lb ground breakfast sausage (can substitute turkey or chicken sausage)
6 large eggs
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
7.5 oz frozen hash brown potatoes (about half of a 15 oz bag)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Brown and crumble sausage in a skillet, then drain the grease.
3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and milk until blended. Stir in salt and pepper.
4. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and add hash browns, sausage, and cheese. Mix evenly.
5. Pour the egg mixture over the contents in the dish.
6. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10–15 minutes until hot and bubbly.
7. Allow to cool slightly before slicing to let it set.
Notes
Can be assembled the night before and refrigerated until baking.
Thaw hash browns and remove excess moisture before using.
Let casserole rest about 20 minutes after baking for cleaner slices.
Sausage can be replaced with bacon, ham, or vegetarian alternatives.
Try different cheeses like Monterey Jack, Swiss, or pepper jack.
Any milk can be used; richer milk gives a creamier texture.
